Genesis Tattoo & KnuckleUp Gym: Instructor Spotlight

Dave's Genesis Tattoo Shop in Collington
On our first Instructor Spotlight, we'll talk a little about Dave Bein, creator of Genesis Tattoo.
Dave Bein goes beyond the definition of a well-rounded guy; he's an extremely gifted tattoo artist, a huge fan of martial arts (he's got a black belt in Karate from his father, who was a Chuck Norris student!), a KnuckleUp instructor, and a darn-good graphic designer on his spare time.
Dave's history with Martial Arts and fitness began when he was a child, and his dad (freaking Chuck Norris' student) taught him Karate. By age 19, he had already trained Judo, Boxing, and Jiu Jitsu, and was involved with the so-called NHB fighting (No-Holds-Barred, previous to the MMA scene).
Dave And The OBX Gym
KnuckleUp is honored to have Dave teaching special Kickboxing classes, and when his schedule allows, sparring on the ring with the students. With the opening of the brand new Genesis Tattoo location, however, Dave has been away from the gym, which we hope will change soon.
His entrepreneurial, multi-faceted character brings an unique approach to the fitness program at KnuckleUp, and completes a team of highly qualified instructors unlike any other gym's.
We shot a couple of videos of Dave's place so check it out:

See ya next wednesday….thanks for squeezing me in!
I love tattoos and don’t for a second regret getting any of them, I’m currently getting a dragon tattoo done down my right arm can’t wait to get it all done! as can only afford smallsessions at anytime. My tattoo artist is extremly good and also extremly expensive but, he’s worth it! Fantastic site btw
the one issue with your site is you dont post enough! lol
I came in October 2010 and got 2 tattoos, both tribal zodiac on my left shoulder. I want to come back in January and get it finished but I forgot who did them. Is there any way you can look up who did my tats? I would like for the same guy to do the rest of the work. I was looking at coming in the weekend of January 7th, will you be open?
Awesome work, It’s been almost 18 months since I came down and I am making another 5 hour trip just to see these guys.
